“I went in and looked at the jobs and created the job description for the job, not people,” he said. “I put the required license in on the job description so in the future when we do the hiring process we’ll know that those licenses are a requirement to have to be able to hold that position.”

The city manager said adding a more competitive educational background and work-experience level to the descriptions would help in “taking the city to the future.”

“I went in and looked at the jobs and created the job description for the job, not people,” he said. “I put the required license in on the job description so in the future when we do the hiring process we’ll know that those licenses are a requirement to have to be able to hold that position.”

The city manager said adding a more competitive educational background and work-experience level to the descriptions would help in “taking the city to the future.”

He added that none of the current city positions will be affected.

“We just want to make sure we’re equal with the standards of all the other cities in those positions,” he added.

In other action, the commission will consider authorizing the city manager to make a bulk purchase of water meters. Previously, the city purchased water meters in phases, however, the manufacturer offered a discount for bulk purchases; 400 meters and radio read receivers will be purchased at once. Purchasing the meters in phases would have cost the city $104,000, but in bulk with the discount will cost $97,980 — a $6,080 savings.

Also, the city will make a motion to award Underwood Service Enterprises a one-year contract, with options for renewal, for janitorial services. The service will cost $843 a month.
